Fake KVK1?

[Stepdale]

Hello,
Another from the estate of a recently deceased collector. I don't like the material of this one, and from my research Zimmermann didn't mark these with a 20, so just wanted to get your opinions.
Thank you,
Dale

Not that good with these but for me I see some red flags .
The one sword spine - right sword - is badly mis-aligned . The sword top part is uneven .
The lipping on the reverse cut-out reminds me of casting .
Looks like a zinc core that was brass and Nickel plated .
Lets see what others think .

Looks like a bad cast fake to me.

I agree with the other opinions and to add there isn't any confirmation to mm20 ever producing these crosses.

"L/52" yes. "20" no.
